An odd thought about seasons

I just read a note on one of my gardening groups that a member in Montana is going to try to harvest her entire garden because it might snow tonight. In September!!! But it got me to thinking about the bittersweet, melancholy feelings I have about the turn from summer to fall, from fall to winter, and the first snowfalls. The silence, the chill, the puffs of breath, the slow waltz of snowflakes in descent.

You know what would be sweet? If winter were so short I looked forward to it. :)

Stuff I think is worthwhile

This DeppityBob character...

DeppityBob, aka Dep, is a middle-aged Hoosier of some odd experiences and a few roads. Every long-term writing project he (I) start/s seems to stall, but blogging seems to be the one thing I (he) am/is able to accomplish. It's like screaming "I'M IMPORTANT!" in a sea of ADD people yelling the same thing.
By the way...Scotsylvania isn't a state of mind. It's just pretty much my house and yard.
